Today, we are more stressed-out than ever before. The stress of careers, deadlines, conflicts, and demands on our time and money, take a huge toll on our health and well-being. Just as a chain tends to break at its weakest link, we seem to exhibit stress and strain in the weakest areas of our bodies. Stress basically comes in three forms of overload. We encounter physical stress, emotional stress, and chemical stress. In fact, we are subject to all three stress factors at the same time. When we overload, it always manifests in symptoms at our weakest link. Stress can provoke ulcers, migraines, low back pain, insomnia, and other illnesses.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Last week my husband was laid out! Could barely move and having constant back spasms. He was out of work and in a lot of pain. In one short week he is now standing up straighter, having no spasms and very little pain! Dr. Nance Took his time to evaluate the problem and put him on a great plan for care. Thank you!"

  • "So happy with Santan Chiropractic. I've had back pain for many years and dealt with Cortizone shots and other chiropractors that didn't work and/or made me cry. I just had my second visit with San Tan Chiropractic and I feel amazing the doctor is so informative and listen so well and is so gentle. I want anyone having any type of back issues to go see him he is the best ever."

Dr. Nance is caring and really wants to be sure you are healthy overall, not just from a chiropractic sense but from an overall wellness."
